Mr.. Preston l.. Bridgers and family
are returning to this State from Monte
video, Uruguay, where ne is Consul.
he is a son of Colonel II. Il. Bridgers,
OF Wilmington. Cholera is raging at
Montevideo, and doubtless he is ex-
tremely glad to leave there.
Several of the members of the Legis-
lature are quite sick, their illness being
caused by the phenOmenally change
able weather. Yesterday it was as warm
as in April, and not wrap of any kind
was worn, yet only four days before the
temperature had been as low as ii de-
grees above zero. 1t has been hard
winter, and the bit of bright, soft wea-
Their is enjoyable, treacherous as it is.
Mr.. Cofey, the member of the House
from Caldwell, who broke his leg some
weeks past, improves slowly, but it is
hardly probable that he viii be able to
attend the session at all, though it is
hoped that in five weeks he may be able
to see the last Of the proceedings.
1t is now certain that Mr.. Josephus
Daniels, editor of the Chronicle, will be
the public printer. The House com
mite is in favor Of him strongly. The
Democrats, in caucus, declared for him.

RAID ON ROBBERS.
Pittsburgh Jail Full of Conductors and
Brakemen,
VINO Have Been Systematically Robbing
the Pan Handle Freight Trains for
Years.

Pl1TSBuRGH, April ll.-At 2 ;45 this morn
ing Colonel Norman NJ, Smith, Officially
connected with the Pennsylvania railroad
transfer in this city, said: For three
years the railroads in the Pennsylvania
company system, principally on the Pitts
Durgh, Cincinnati and st, Louis division,
nave been Systematically robbed. Cars on
sidlhgS and on moving trains have been
broken open and merchandise of every de-
scriptiOn stolen 1t is estimated that
Tue company has had to pay for at least
SnUO worth of goods stolen while in
transit Detectives have been working on
the case for months. Everything being
ready we decided to make a move all
along the line between Columbus and Pitts
burgh, and T. midnight was fixed to strike
the blow. Eighty warrants have been is
sued for men in Pittsburgh. | can't tell
how many for other places, but it was
Tor nearly every point along the line.
1t IS the most extensive raid
of the kind in railroad circles
that has ever occurred.n The above was
gwen in explanation Of the concerted raid
upon the boarding places and homes of
Panhandle railway employees, conductors
and brakemen, by squad composed of
one hundred city policemen, detectives and
ward constables shortly after midnight
Early trains from the West were held in
the yard by display of red signal from
the block at Fourth avenue. The officers
boarded the trains, knowing the men that
were wanted, promptly secured them and
marched them to the jail, and no train ar
rived that did not lose one or more men
from its crew. Search-warrants were
made out this morning for several houses
suspected as fences in receiving and
disposing of the stolen property. 1t is cur
ren'ly believed that much Of the stolen
goods will be recovered. Fifty-six
arrests so far have been made
Twenty of the railroaders, cmphat-
ically denying all knowledge of
crooked work, were arrested at Browns
hotel. An examination of their rooms
however disclosed large quantity Of val
liable merchandise, that had been taken
from the railroad There are still about
300 unscrved warrants out, and altogether
over 400 informations have been lodged.
1t said that the robbers stole every thing,
even to sewing -machins aud Bibles, and
thought it no sin TO rob a railroad com
nany.

Is over $500 900 and that several
hundred men are implicated. The
majority Of these were ordered to the
city last night, and then the order to ar.
rest them was given. The other suspects
were beng arrested by special officers

atlons Of the robbers, it is SAID, covered

CHICAGO, April S,-Thc hall of the strik.

crowded all day with strikers. A Ammbcr
oil contractors visited the hall during the
day and sought to engage men to helm
thehl out on important work Their an.
peals were invariably denied. The strlk.
ers declare that they will remain ont un.
| tlI thelr Union is recognized. The carmen.
ters claim that two hundred and siy,y
bosses nave expressed a willingness ia

| drcd and forty are opposed to the con.
| ccssion. The carpenters claim that the
s'rike VIII soon end, and it is thought
mat the meeting Of master carpenters to
be held at the Builders Exchange to-mor.
row may settle the matter. Only nineteen
contractors responded to the call for a
mass meeting of master carpenters this
afternoon to independently consider the
demands oil the strikers, although the LAT.
Ter claimed that two hundred and sixty
bosses were opposed to the Master Car.
pentcrs' Association, and had expressed
a willingness to give in. The session was
a very short one, and resulted merely in
the contractors present aprccino
to attend another meeting of the en-.
ployers of the carpenters to be held to.
morrow night Fights between strikers
and imported carpenters occurred in many
parts of The city today. The strikers in
almost every case managed to eludc the
police. Nom Union men were compclled To
quit work in number of instances, cs
pcclally i'll the outskirts Of the city. Shots
were exchanged between policemen
and strikers near Humboldt Park. "Scabs
were found at work by one of our
committees said President Kliver, of the
Carpenters Council. "They were re.
quested to quit. Suddenly patrol wagon
loaded with policemen came, and firing
began on both sides. The shots were fired
IN the air, and nobody was arrested"
The Knights of Labor element among
the strikers are not all satisfied with
the way matters are being conducted
by the Carpenters Council THAT
organization is composed OF thirty
four delegates said prominent
Knight this evening, "and only eight Of
the delegates are from our assemblies. The
Carpenters Brotherhood is bossing us,
but we don't intend to submit. We are
satisfied with the compromise offer Of the

TREACHEROUS INK.
A Warning Against Using Aniline Inks for
Contracts or Records.

was chatting the other day with the
vice-p president of one of the trunk lines
of railway when a messenger entered
with an important contract. having
twenty-one years to run. 1t was Il
traffic agreement with Il competing
line, and was a very valuable docu-
ment. 1t happened to be written with
typewriter in aniline ink. Upon
seeing this he positively refused to sign
the paper! He then took the contract
to the president of the road and said;
"Mr. -, if YOU want TO sign this con-
tract YOU can do it, but | never will. "
When asked why, he replied: 1T is
written in miline ink, which fades,
and long before the expiration of this
contract this document will be entirely
faded and practically worthless" The
result was the return of the contract,
with a request that hereafter all i'm.
portant documents, the preservation OF
which is desirable. should he written
in ink that would not fade.
During General Grants term II,
President one of his Cabinet officer.
discovered that the records of an inn
portant branch of one of the depart
ments had been for two years written
in purple ink. He had at once ISSUED
an order forbidding its use in the de
partment, purchased new set o.
hooks into which two years records
were copied, and thus saved what in ;
few years would otherwise have beer
lost. 1t is one of the problems of chem
istry to find something which will mak'
permanent the beautiful aniline colors
but thus far all efforts have failed.
1t is growing more and more th
custom to have deeds, contracts AM
valuable documents printed on type
writer in anilinc ink, This is grea
mistake, because in few years the.
are sure to be obliterated. america,
